{She beckons}



The gossamer gown merged with clear blue waters, rippling like waves as the wearer walked upon the surface of the lake. Hair spilled down her back in a brown to aquamarine gradient, strands in the coarse texture and shape of seaweed.
“Tirra lirra,” her misery-laden voice resonates towards the shore. “Who will be with me, the Lady of Shalott?” She drags herself along the body of water, walking to the island, sinking with each step.
“Who will join me?”

Upon the island of Aucuneîle (oh-koo-neel) sat the castle Astolat in the center, built to reach the sky as it looked over its territory atop a mountain. Citizens on Aucuneîle were from generations of island dwellers, and only few dared to come from the mainland to the island by boat. When foreigners set foot on the island, Aucuneîlans would always say first and foremost, “Don't follow the Lady,” without further explanation.

{Guidelines}




The maximum number of characters per person (for now) is two.
You may choose to be a citizen of the island or a newcomer.
Please PM me your form so that I may add your name to the list!
The background story is based on this and this; it is recommended to read them.
Aucuneîle is quite fond of olden attire, particularly Medieval/Renaissance-like clothing. (What are...jeans?)
From the looks of it, the island seems to be slightly limited in technology (particularly cellphones, computer, and similar electronics).

Please follow all Guild and Gaia rules.
A readable font color and friendly post format is most appreciated. (Giant walls of text make me cry... sweatdrop )
A minimum of 100 words per post would be lovely.



{Notes on the Lady}

show spoilerhide spoiler

The Lady of Shalott's role in this story is to lure humans into the lake. However, once a character is taken down by her, the person does not die. Instead, he/she is turned into a fish being (similar to a mermaid/merman) and is cast in the underwater world; and therefore, cannot return to the island (unless under special circumstances). This feature will be available once Fiesola determines that there are enough characters/people.

***Citizens on the island are not aware of the fact that those who join the Lady become fish beings-- they assume the victims become spirits or drown in the lake. Interactions between fish beings and island dwellers are seldom heard of (though not impossible).

Background: Fiesola was born to an Aucuneîlan couple who lived by the shore. Her mother passed away during childbirth. Fiesola grew up tending to the house and gathering seashells while her father went out every morning with other fishermen to bring back supper. One day, when Fiesola was nine, news of a tragedy struck: the fishing boat which her father was on had sunk, and a witness had seen the Lady dragging sailors down into the lake. Since then, Fiesola has lived alone, in the same house by the beach, encountering the Lady more often than she would hope for. Money has been provided to Fiesola quite enigmatically after her being orphaned; at the start and middle of each month, a bottle of gold coins would wash up to the shore while Fiesola gathers seaweed and shells in the early morning before the sun rises. Fiesola seldom opens up shop in the city bazaar.

Additional details: The trinkets that Fiesola sells are believed by some to be wards from the Lady.

Eudora Ramore

Background: Eudora has never called a place her home, always traveling constantly to keep up with trade markets or running out of a town with guards on their heels... Stereotypes haunt her no matter where she goes but it's only caused the girl to develop a thick skin. Now why she is here has something to do with those stereotypes... along with the reputation she seemed to be earning from all the broken hearts she was leaving behind her like a trail of breadcrumbs. So for her own good her family left her in the care of relatives that have settled in this town in hopes that spending some time in a quiet village would help calm the girl down before she gets into too more trouble.
Additional details: Possesses a keen eye for plant varieties and enjoys making fresh salves and elixirs for others when she sees someone in need of them.
